At the Library of Salò, guest of the University, Massimo Tedeschi will present his latest work “Ignoble death of Bruno D. Oratory for ten voices (plus one) on the disasters of war”.
An obscure episode of the Second World War that occurred in the Brescia valleys, discovered among the papers of an archive, triggers a narrative process that revolves around the execution of a soldier of the National Republican Guard hanged for a minor crime.
Protagonists and witnesses, imaginary or real, of the tragic end of Bruno D. tell, each with their own language and from their own point of view, a tragic page of the war in our home. The result is an oratory with many voices, a question to the consciences of yesterday and today, a painful and dramatic indictment against the disasters of war, of all wars.
In dialogue with the author, Andrea Crescini, president of the University of Salò. Readings by Rosalba Ronchi.
The evening is free admission while seats last. Information [email protected] – tel. 0365.20338.
